Hyperglycemia

Condition characterized by excessively high levels of glucose in the blood, and occurs when the body does not have enough insulin or cannot use the insulin it does have to turn glucose into energy. Hyperglycemia is often indicative of diabetes that is out of control.

hyperglycemia

[hī′pərglīsē′mē·ə]

Etymology: Gk, hyper + glykys, sweet, haima, blood

a greater than normal amount of glucose in the blood. Most frequently associated with diabetes mellitus, the condition may occur in newborns, after the administration of glucocorticoid hormones, and with an excess infusion of IV solutions containing glucose, especially in poorly monitored long-term hyperalimentation. Also spelled hyperglycaemia. Also called hyperglycosemia. Compare hypoglycemia.
